I am in Waynesboro, PA.
Servos will mount upside down with the plane in proper orientation. If you look on the plans the mount location should be on the drawing of the firewall. I built a Balsa USA Thundebug 60 for a friend of mine this past spring. The instruction book was lousy but the plans showed most of what you need. This is a relativly easy kit to build but with the instructions as they are it was helpful to have some prior building experience.
Ok his plans shows the Servo section, but not the way the servos are to be set up or anything. I do agree on the instruction book as it only has about 6 - 8 pages total. This is his first plane that he has built from scratch so he is kinda in the dark and it is all new to him. He is also at a loss on how to build the pushrods. Does he need to use 1/4" dowel rods to use to build the pushrods or does he just use the metal all the way through?
Thanks for the very helpful info.
